MUU

Top choice in Aliados & Bolhão


So you came for the steak, right? Wise decision. A welcome newcomer to Porto's food scene, MUU has carved out a name for itself with outstanding cuts of beef. Homemade Scotch eggs and cheese gratins prelude the main act: a garlic-rubbed rib-eye, say, or tender Black Angus steak. Either way, you won't leave hungry.

The slickly urban decor has an industrial edge, with brick walls, statement lights and eye-catching crockery. Some of the steaks are big enough for sharing, and the upbeat staff can recommend gutsy red wines to go with them.
